Conciliationis ecclesiae armenae cum romana ex ipsis armenorum patrum et doctorum testimoniis in dua partes [microform] : historialem & controversialem divisae ..

Galanus, Clemens, d. 1666 · 1658 · Romae : Typis Sacrae congregationis de propaganda fide · 40 pictures

A Latin theological work by Clemens Galanus, printed in Rome in 1658 by the Propaganda Fide press, on reconciling the Armenian and Roman churches using Armenian church fathers' writings. The pictures are black woodcut or engraved printer's ornaments: decorative headpieces and tailpieces of scrolling acanthus leaves, volutes and cartouches, one with a central face mask and another with a small swag at the base. A designer could draw on their dense, high-contrast baroque scrollwork for borders, dividers and monogram-style frames.
